Frequently Asked Questions
Do you store my recording?
No. Recording happens in your browser via the MediaRecorder API. The file only reaches disk when you click Download. Nothing is sent to a server.
Why is the output WebM and not MP3?
Browsers can natively encode WebM/Opus at high quality; MP3 encoding in-browser is not universally supported. Use the Audio Converter to turn WebM into MP3 — also runs locally.
How good is the audio?
Opus is a modern codec that sounds excellent for voice at 96-128 kbps — as good or better than 192 kbps MP3. It’s the codec used by Discord, WhatsApp, and Zoom.
